hey cocoleveo7686, any updates? sorry I have not answered anything in a while, been busy with my own system the last 2 weeks, also, I built a pretty similar box to what your looking at (not by mesurements but by volume and tunning, and am also running the same subs and amp. have a look:

let me know what you want to do, still willing to help.

yea man i still want help, i dont know if maybe i should go with 1 of my 12's in a 3.2 CU box with 1000 rms to it instead of the 2, since the L7's require alot of space...either that, or get 1 RE XXX or MX and put like 2000 rms on it in a right enclosure, i think the with space i have isnt enough for my 2 12's so im not getting full potential, i want louder

 

[DarkFox 10+ year member]

well I happen to have 1 12" l7 in 3.5 tuned to 31 @ 1000w, and I have 2 12' L7 in about 4.9 tuned to 34 hz @ 2000w. so if you want to have a listen at either I am here.

well do you think if i put 1 12 L7 in that box it would be louder then my setup since its in a bigger box, too bad ur not going to beable take the 4.9 Cu one, id liek to see if that would fit...lol

I can tell you that the sound quality in the single is a little better but the dual is MUCH louder. I should note its also hard to judge the SQ of the the double, as it is unfinished and EVERYTHING rattles atm. If i remember right, your chief complaint was that you wanted louder on the meter anyway, and as a daily driver you didnt think it was too bad??? Let me know if that was wrong. But if thats the case, I think going to one sub unless its a specific SPL enclosure, isnt going to get you a better meter.

no keep the L7s.......get a 4.0-4.5cf if it will fit tune it to around 35-37hzand then push around 1200-1500 rms to the pair if u arent allready and u should be in the 143-145 range

stop giving advice. I read this thread, and no one knows what they are talking about. Its all in the install. I had a SINGLE 15 cvx that did a 148.7 in the kick, tuned low, i peaked at 42hz. That was in a sentra trunk car too. Its all in the install to be exact. I do not care if its a suv, trunk car etc.....you can make anything loud if you know what your doing.

Just stuffing the biggest box in a trunk will hurt you. You must have room to move air. The box its self will choke off air movement and hurt you.

In the sentra have the sub / subs firing into cabin and port to passenger side. Design the box so that it doesnt cover the whole opening into the cabin when you fold the seats down. Or dont be cheap and go with aero ports, they = loud.

i dont think by firing the subs into the cabin will make it louder in this car...im not looking to really be louder by the meter, mostly to the ear...i dont think i have enough space for 2 12's so i was thinking it might be louder if i put in 1 good 12 or 2 10's

pretty harsh dude..... I agree, alot of the stuff you say is 100% right, but to say no one knows what there talking about exept you... Ouch.

seems to be sound advice from somone experienced with a sentra and on team kicker to boot. Sounds like good advice to me. but what do I know, I had a previous post in this thread, so as the team kicker god here says,

no one knows what they are talking about.

didnt mean to come off harsh:crap:. I just erks me when people give advice with very limited knowledge. If ive never used something i can not comment on it. In this case ive used everything he is working with and can offer a valid opinion.

I will try to find pic's of the sentra install and post them for reference. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

actualy sounds like your sugesting something close to what I am doing in my stang right now. i'll get a pic of that too

didn't add the resin or trim the fabric yet, but you get the idea.

looks like a good work in progress. I would resin the inside of the box as well. The box that was in my sentra was 4 cube with internal aero ports. It would slide out in case i needed to change a flat etc.....i put alot of different boxes from 2x 12's, to single 15's and did a 146.2 with a kenwood amp that clamped to 414 actual watts:verymad: in the kick.

 

[cocoleveo7686 10+ year member]

i would rather be louder to the ear then to the mic

you really think its much louder to the ear if you turn the box around firing the subs forward? i was htinking about trying to build a box to 4.0 CU, but i will just barely have enough room i think

it was louder to the ear and metered better. sub firing into cabin, and port to passenger side.
